dc.description.abstract |
The New England Emigrant Aid Company, formed in 1854
under the direction of Eli Thayer, was established to send
settlers into the Kansas territory. The New England
Emigrant Aid Company's goal was to secure Kansas as a freestate.
This position was in direct opposition to the
proslavery Missourian's desire to make Kansas a slave state.
The New England Emigrant Aid Company supplied emigrants and
leadership to the free-state movement in Kansas. This
caused conflict between the free-state party and the
proslavery faction.
The company's impact upon Kansas and the border
Missourians needed to be examined thoroughly to understand
its place in Kansas history. The consequences of its
presence in the territory as an antagonistic force to the
proslavery Missourians has never been fully examined. It is
the focus of this study to determine the effects of the
company's presence and its propaganda in Kansas. The
problems that the company faced from critics will also be
explored in depth. Furthermore, it is the intention of this
work to understand the reasons why the company presence in
the territory threatened the proslavery Missourians into
action. |
